They could've been. I'd be strange if their tomfoolery halted when it should've.

[ But next Blade is looking at her surprise as her nonalcoholic drink of choice appears. ]

...This the first time you've been to the bar?

[applebough]

I've been here before, but I didn't know it still functioned after closing time...

[ She takes a sip of her barley tea. Yum. ]

[baebladie]

There may be many surprises that await you should you endeavor to find them...or for them to find you.

[ Blade states dramatically as he sips his raspberry juice. ]

[applebough]

[ this is such a funny image help

Yuri looks at Blade, slowly blinks... she won't make fun of him but what was the point of that. ]

... Did you find anything like that here on the ship?

[baebladie]

[ So many points you can say they're unlimited (no) ]

A surprise? No.

Not unless you mean that there is an actual brig.

[applebough]

Oh.

[ Right, she heard that Blade was in space jail for like 8 hours. ]

I assume it wasn't too hard in there...?

[baebladie]

No. There was a toilet, sink, a cot with a standard blanket, and pillow but generally less glamorous than our rooms.

I wasn't chained to the wall or anything.

[ Unlike the fate that awaits sent to, let us say, the Xianzhou Alliance's Shackling Prison. ]

[applebough]

[ ... ]

Is that normal for you?

[ blade?????? ]

[baebladie]

No.

I'm not that unlucky.

[ He is nearly that unlucky, and he has gotten into trouble with the law copious times but he's good at not getting shackled up. Somehow. ]

[applebough]

Oh, that's... good.

[ Finally, something relieving to hear. ]

I'm glad that it's not the norm for you. It said that you were very good at getting away...?

[ blade is a smooth sharp criminal ]

[baebladie]

[ He doesn't understand why she'd worry about a stranger. ]

That's right. Those who get in my way end up cut down.

[ I see your puns there smhhh ]

I'm sure you understand.

[applebough]

[ i hope someone makes a pun icly and that can be our murder ]

... Yes.

[ Scary! She sips more of her barley tea. ]

Are there enough things for you to do here? I heard that the simulation room could also be used for combat training if you enjoy it.

[baebladie]

[ Exactly. Rip in Pun(ieces) to the very first moment a pun icly is cracked. ]

That's enough for me.

And as much as I'm hardly fond of these circumstances, the rooms aren't lacking.

[ Nobody will catch him paying such a compliment ever again, even about the infrastructure, though. ]

Ever visit the simulation room for such a reason?

[applebough]

[ Yuri nods when Blade says that the rooms aren't lacking. Despite only one bed per room and it being small, it's well furnished in her opinion. ]

Oh, um... I don't have a weapon.

[baebladie]

You have no combat ability without one?

[ Probably not unusual, he supposes. Blade hasn't exactly assumed people were able to fight necessarily, though he asks anyway. ]

[applebough]

Yes... for the most part. I use something like a sword.

[ Because it's probably not exactly a sword. I think? Squints at the art ]

[baebladie]

[ "Something like a sword?"

Is the sudden thought passing through which can be heard because it is thoughtshare-emotionshare week. ]

You can still use the simulation for practice, then.

Weapons are able to still be simulated, even if you don't have them with you.

[applebough]

Is that so...

[ That interests Yuri a bit. Maybe she can work on getting stronger here? She seems very curious about the idea. ]

Does that mean you tried it before?

[baebladie]

I have. You'll find it useful for keeping up with your capabilities.

[ He says this as he seriously says anything, honestly. ]

[applebough]

I would hope that I wouldn't have to fight anyone anymore...

[ But that's no reason for letting her reflexes get rusty, huh. ]

What do you use?

[baebladie]

You never know what is in your future. Letting your guard down would be dangerous.

[ Blade is simply saying what he thinks is prudent, that's it. ]

A blade.

[ He says this so seriously but can you just imagine the irony behind someone called Blade using a blade... ]

[applebough]

[ This is one of the nicer characters I have and you're gonna force my hand here lum ]

Is that why your name is Blade...?

[baebladie]

[ Just as keikaku. ]

...Yes.

[ Like yes and no but also mostly yes. It is complicated and simple at the same time. ]

I became a blade and embraced this new identity.

[applebough]

[ Well.

At least she doesn't laugh. In fact, she sounds concerned. ]

... You're a person though.

[ ........ ]

Right?

[baebladie]

[ That's fine. She doesn't need to know the details at this time.

....

Then she'd be even more concerned. ]

A person? Me?

[ ... ]

Yes...I am. Even a person can be a weapon.
